Happy Birthday to Ya

 It’s my Birthday.  I am 38 pounds lighter than I was at the start of the year.  It’s hard to think about how to best celebrate my Birthday.  Usually, holidays are surrounded with food, drinks, and desserts.  This year is so different.  Number one, there is no one to arrange my celebration but me.  Number two, eating is not that enjoyable to me right now.  I am still in the ‘soft food’ stage until my Birthday and I am really stuck about what to do.  I want to demonstrate to the kids that not eer celebration has to include fatty foods and sugary treats.  Perhaps if we didn’t eat these things year-round, that would be the case.  But, alas, we had “just because” cupcakes last month.  Do I arrange a Birthday walk?  A family movie night?  An all-out cleaning day!

This is where traditions can shift and I just don’t know how to do that.
